Editor Bishop Makes Correction.
MEYERSDALE, Pa., Nov. 8, 1906.
| P. L. Livengood, Salisbury, Pa.
| Dear Sir and Friend :—1 write you to
| make an apology for a statement that
I made editorially in today’s Republi-
| can, and which I just discovered. I
say that but three papers in the county
were for the Republican ticket, and
enumerate them, and leave you out in
the matter. It is an error in statement
that I regret, and I hasten to make a
proper apology to you, for most cer-
tainly Tue Star and its editor were
true to the party, and to their friends
in this county. .
I therefore humbly crave your par-
Fraternally yours,
G. E. BisHOP.
Brother Bishop’s explanation is en-
tirely satisfactory, so far as THE STAR
is concerned, providing he publishes it
in his paper, next week. But we-claim
he also owes the Turkeyfoot News an
apology, for that paper supported the
Republican ticket as loyally as any of
us. Honor to all whom honor is due.
In addition to what we have already
said, it may be well enough to state the
additional fact that a few days prior to
the election it was openly boasted by
some of the Fusionists of this town
that not more than four straight Re-
publican votes would be polled in Sal-
isbury borough, and that those would
be voted by Albert Lowry, Howard
Meager, W. B. Stevanus and the editor
of Tue STAR. Well, we considered that
a fine compliment to the four persons
named, but there were otherloyal ones,
too, although not as many as there
should have been.
THE CHARM OF A CLEAR COM-
PLEXION.
Nothing lends more to personal at-
tractiveness than the clear skin and
fresh rosy complexion that comes to
those who use Laxakola tablets. 25
cents, a guaranteed cure for sallow-
pass i constipation. E. H. Miller.

Trolley Grade Completed.
The trolley line grade between Salis-
bury and Meyersdale was completed
this week, and work on the power
house at Boynton is progressing rapidly.
Now, if the company could only get
the rails at once, the track would be
laid within the next few weeks. It is
hard to tell just how soon the rails can
be secured, as all the rolling mills in
the country are overstocked with or-
ders, owing to the great prosperity that
the Republican party has given the
country ever since the close of the last
Democratic soup house administration.
However, the road will be completed
and in operation at an early date next
spring, if not sooner. The cars are
contracted for, and the only delay the
company has to contend with is in
having its rail order filled.

HURRAH! HURRAH!
Hip, Hip, Let ’er Rip, the G. 0.P.
Still Sails the Ship!
Whoop, whoop! Hip, hip!
Now let ’er rip
With pen and tongue
And iron lung
And megaphone
Of thund’rous tone,
And pound—pom! pom !—
The big bass drum,
Because we see
The G. O. P.
On top today
And booked to stay.
The greatest this of days and dates,
Hurrah for these United States!
Hip, hip! Whoop, whoop!
The Bryan group
Of kickers lies
Collapsed, to rise
And howl no more.
Its bovine roar
Is hushed for keeps.
Of all clean sweeps
E’er made, this ranks
The first and yanks
The belt. The Grand
014 Party’s hand
Prevails and makes marauders flee.
Hurrah, then, for the G. O. P.!
Hip, whoop! Great Scott
Bat it was hot.
Hearst’s yellow;work
Made old New York
Look shaky. Here
Lew Emery’s queer,
Unwholesome crew
Made things look blue.
But Hearst fell down
And missed the crown.
And Emery struck
The bogs and stuck
Therein. Both states proved staunch
and wise. ‘
Hurrah, then, for these old stand-bys
Hip, whoop and 'rah!
Likewise ha! ha!
The lads that fuse
Are in the blues.
Their gibes and jeers
Give place to tears.
With many a pang
The Bryan gang
Receives the news;
Hearst licked by Hughes
And Emery’s horde
By Stuart floored.
Thus Rooseveltism prevails once more.
Hurrah for Roosevelt ten times o'er!

A YEAR OF BLOOD.
The year of 1903 will long be remem-
bered in the home of F. N. Tacket, of
Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood ; which
flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket’s
lungs that death seemed very near. He
writes: “Severe bleeding from the
lungs and a frightful cough had brought
me at death’s door, when I began tak-
ing Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, with the astonishing result
that after taking four bottles I was
completely restored, and as time has
proven, permanently cured.” Guaran-
teed for Sore Lungs, Coughs and Colds,
at E. H. Miller’s drug store. Price 50c.
and $1.00. Trial bottle free. 12-1
Wabash Surveyors at Work.
A number of civil engineers in the
employ of the Wabash railroad have
located at Downey. and their purpose
in that locality is to make surveys to
be submitted to the proper department
of that company who will decide upon
the most feasible route to cross the
Alleghenies in order to reach their
eastern extension at Cumberland.
The men themselves are very reticent
as to what they expect to do in that
locality, and it is yet too early to haz-
ard any conjectures as to the route
most likely to be taken up. It appears
that the route via Meyersdale is by no
means a settled thing, notwithstanding
the rumors of rights-of-way being taken
up in that section.—Somerset Domo-
crat.
FIRST AID TO BEAUTY.
Nothing is more certain to benefit
your complexion than a 25 cent box of
Laxakola tablets. They freshen the
skin, give color to the cheeks, cure
constipation, and give you a clear, rosy,
healthful complexion. E. H. Miller.

If there is one thing above another
a young man should be ashamed of do-
ing, it is loafing without aim or purpose
or profit, on the streets or in stores,
day after day, all week. If you have
nothing to do, stay at home—a part of
the time at any rate. No young man
with any self respect will content him-
self with aspiring to no higher reputa-
tion than that of a chronic loafer and
store box magnate. Nothing will so
blunt the higher faculties of the mind
as inactivity; and no inactivity is so
baneful and malevolent in its effect as
that voluntary idleness termed loafing.
TEACH OBEDIENCE.
Many a passionate child rules the
household. The little baby on its
mother’s knee goes into a passion be-
cause its dinner is witheld from him,
or some toy denied him. He shrieks,
and strikes his mother, and the moth-
er says: “Poor little boy, he has such
a passionate nature; he can’t be cross-
ed,” and yields to him. She ought to
spank him—spank him hard—for being
in a passion, and give him nothing till
his passion had cooled. The child,
though he is so young that he cannot
speak, if he is old enough to lift his fist
and strike a blow, deserves punishment,
needs to have a lesson of repression
taught it. The mother who neglects
this increases the chances of her son’s
going to the gallows. When the child
is older, there are better disciplinary
punishments than spanking, but when
the child reaches such an age that
they are useful, it may be too late, his
temper may have grown into a domi-
nating force in his character that can-
not be eradicated. Mothers sometimes
say when a child shows a vile temper
and shrieks a good deal, that, it would
endanger his life to punish him; per-
haps so, but you still more endanger
his future if you don’t punish him.
Many a gallows tragedy has had its be-
ginning on the mother’s lap. We wish
we could write it in imperishable,
glowing letters on the walls of every
home—obedience, obedience, obedi-
ence! Obedience tolaw—to household
law; to parental authority; unques-
tioning, instant, exact obedience.
Obedience in the family; obedience in
the school! Wherever, from the be-
ginning, from the first glimmering in-
telligence in the child, there is expres-
sion of law, let there be taught respect
for it and obedience to it. It is the
royal road to virtue, to good citizen-
ship, it is the only road.
HAVE SOME ENJOYMENT.
How much better to use some of the
good things of life as we go along; to
make our humble homes as cheery and
bright as possible now. Do not starve
today, either body, mind or soul, think-
ing that poverty will knock at your
door tomorrow. Don’t hoard and
serimp through all the best years of
your life that you may be generous in
your will. Life is uncertain, and it is
better to make your children happy
while they are under the home roof ; to
call to that home every agency that
will make their lives sweeter and bet-
ter, than to deny them these that you
may leave them a large account when
you are gone. It will be too late for
them to return kindness to you then.
Don’t keep the parlor shut up and live
in the kitchen, unless you want the
boys and girls to be anxious to leave
you. Don’t think they must not go
anywhere but to Sunday school and
prayer meeting; remember you were
young once yourself. Do not ask them
to walk two miles to a singing or lec-
ture after working hard all day, when
there are two or three horses in your
barn that would enjoy the trip as much
as they. For God’s sake show them
you think as much of them as you do
of your beasts, if not more.
Take time to enjoy the society of
your friends, especially the companion-
ship of your children; it will only be a
few years at the best that they will be
with you, and these ought to be years
of happiness to both you and them.
Would you not rather have them look
back when out in the world to that
blessed home (though it may not have
been a mansion) where they received
more joy and comfort than the world
can afford, than to have them forget
home in a week and hardly return to
your burial? If we are ever happy in
this life we must enjoy what every day
brings. We should be grateful and
glad for all the good that comes into
our lives, and patiently bear our trials.
HOME.
Too many of us are looking forward
to happiness in the future years instead
of getting all the enjoyment possible
out of the present. It is well to re-
member that the time never will come,
in this world. when we shall have
everything we want just where and
when we want it. The only way to be
happy is to enjoy all we have to the ut-
most as we go along. It is right to lay
up for old age in youth; right to pre-
pare for a rainy day, but it is not right
to bend all our energies to this end and
put off until the future the happiness
we might enjoy every day. It is very
common to see people working and
saving, denying themselves all recrea-
tion and many comforts, to lay up
money to buy more land, to enlarge
their stock (to save for their children)
thinking that when they have aceom-
plished this they will be happy and be-
gin to take comfort. The hoped-for
point may never be attained, or if it is,
sickness or death may have come first,
and the dear ones whom we expected
to be happy with may be gone forever-
GO HOME, BOYS.
-Boys, don’t hang around the corners
of the streets. If you have anything to
do, do it promptly, right off, then go
home. Home is the place for boys.
About the street corners and at the -
stables they learn to talk slang, and
they learn to swear, to smoke tobacco
and to do many other things which they
ought not tb do.
Do your business and then go home.
If your business is play, play and make
a business of it. We like to see boys
play good, earnest, healthful games. If
we were the Town Council we would
give the boys a good, spacious play-
ground, if we could. It would have
plenty of green grass and trees and
fountains, and broad spaces to run and
jump and play suitable games in. We
would make is pleasant, as lovely as it
could be, and we would give it to the
boys to play in, and when the game was
ended we would tell them to go home.
The new Pure Food and Drug Law
will mark it on the label of every
Cough Cure containing Opium, Chloro-
form, or any other stupifying or poi-
sonous drug. But it passes Dr. Shoop’s
Cough Cure as made for 20 years, en-
tirely free. Dr. Shoop all along has
bitterly opposed the use of all opiates
or narcotics. Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure
is absolutely safe, even for the youngest
babe—and it cures, it does not simply
suppress. Get a safe and. reliable
Cough Cure, by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop’s. Let the law be
your protection. We cheerfully reec-
ommend and sell it. Elk Lick Phar-

THE CALF PATH.
SAM WALTER FOSS.
(By Request.)
One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home as good calves
should ; x £
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years have
fled,
And I infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail o’er vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind -him, too,
As good bell-wethers always do. .
And from that day, o’er hill and glade. .
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out,
And doged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because ’twas such a crooked path;
But still they followed—do not laugh—
The first migrations of that calf.
And through this winding wood-way
stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became a lane,
That bent and turned and turned again :.
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many a poor horse, with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And traveled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and a half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet:
The road became a village street ;
And this, before men were aware,
A city’s crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries and a half
Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed this zigzag calf about,
And oer his crooked journey went
The traffic of a centinent.
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years a day;
For thus such reverence is lent
A well-established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were I ordained and called to preach :
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf-path of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth, and back,
And still their devious course pursue.
To keep the path that others do.
They keep the path a sacred groove,
Along which all their lives they move
But how the wise old wood-gods laugl:
Who saw the first primeval calf.
Ah, many things this tale might teach—
But I am not ordained to preach.
